I'm sure any number of Christian lunatics would love to remake America into Y'all-Qaeda.

You can take your classist “Y’all Qaeda” and shove it. If you want to critique politics that’s fine, but please understand what you’re spewing is dehumanizing propaganda implying more than half of the country are dumb hicks.

  Well, bless your heart! I guess a hit dog really will holler.

If you take out Israel-bashing and add a bit of fiscal cuts in, it very much reads like R-party’s agenda. But that’s just me, being European and grandstanding on the orange website.

I’m guessing you don’t know much about religion? Christianity and islam are quite a bit different, the latter literally convinving people to convert by sword. And here I thought HN got rid of bigoted comments like this.

    That was Catholicism, not Christianity. Which is my point, your average non-religious person does not understand the difference between religions. Be it Islam vs Christianity, or Christianity vs Catholicism.

      Wow. If you're going to tar all of Islam by their worst members ("the latter literally convinving people to convert by sword"), you can't object if someone applies the same logic to Christianity. > Christianity vs Catholicism Catholics aren't Christian? Sounds exactly like some of evangelical nuts I grew up around. Most of the world views Christianity as a big umbrella, with Catholics and Protestants being two of the major flavors. (Somehow I highly doubt you're Eastern Orthodox.) > your average non-religious person does not understand the difference between religions And apparently, neither do you, my evangelical wingnut in Christ.
